Twist Drill — Short Type N Drill, 12.9 mm, 135° Tip, HSS‑E, 5% cobalt‑alloyed, Fully Ground, DIN 338, MetavCUT

A short Twist Drill (Type N) designed for precise metal drilling with Drilling Machines and professional workshop use.

• Short design for increased stability and precision
• 12.9 mm Diameter for medium‑sized metal bores
• 135° Tip for harder materials and reduced wander
• Made of HSS‑E with 5% cobalt for higher wear resistance
• Fully Ground geometry for accurate, clean holes

Precision and Stability that improve every hole

A short Twist Drill offers a clear advantage where Rigidity and Exactness matter. The reduced overhang minimizes bending and vibration, so the Drill stays on center even under higher feed forces. For users who rely on repeatable hole quality, this translate into fewer rejects and less rework. The shorter Overall Length also permits safer use in tight set‑ups and stationary Drilling Machines, delivering consistently round bores with improved surface finish.

Material and Geometry for demanding metalworking

The combination of HSS‑E material and a 5% cobalt‑alloyed composition increases heat resistance and toughness, which is especially beneficial when working with alloyed or stainless steels. A 135° Tip reduces thrust and avoids excessive chipping at the entry, so penetration is smoother in harder materials. For those less familiar: HSS‑E means High Speed Steel with enhanced Cobalt content, providing a balance of hardness and elasticity that reduces the risk of premature wear in heavy duty metal drilling.

Built for professional applications and reliable results

This Type N short Drill is intended primarily for Metalworking operations where a stable, conventional spiral is required. Shops, toolrooms and maintenance teams will value the improved centering and lower vibration during common tasks such as through‑holes and precise locating bores. Because the Drill is suitable for use in Drilling Machines, it supports both stationary and mobile production needs while maintaining a manufacturing‑oriented performance profile.

DIN 338 and Fully Ground: why the standards matter

Compliance with DIN 338 denotes that the Drill follows established dimensions and tolerances for short twist drills with cylindrical shanks. The Fully Ground (geschliffen) flute geometry produces very sharp cutting edges and high runout accuracy, resulting in cleaner holes in metal; compared to roll‑formed variants, ground drills usually give better hole quality though they require careful handling and adequate cooling to avoid brittleness. This specification helps users choose the right tool for demanding metal tasks.
